Microconnect B-FTP50025 networking cable Grey 0.25 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP50025 RJ-45 Cat5e 0.25 m Grey is a short, shielded Cat5e network patch cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for point-to-point connections between network devices or to structured infrastructure such as patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is 0.25 m long, meets Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz, and supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Its F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity in small office, home network and entertainment setups.

Advantages

The shielded construction (F/UTP/B-FTP) protects against EMI and reduces crosstalk, helping to prevent data degradation and transmission errors. Cat5e compliance ensures compatibility with existing Cat5 installations while supporting modern Ethernet speeds. RJ-45 connectors on both ends and latch protection reduce the risk of connector damage during installations in tight spaces. The short 0.25 m length is convenient for connecting adjacent devices without excess cable.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switch, modem or router to another network device over a short distance
• Patch panel or keystone jack connections in small office and home networks
• Entertainment systems and near‑device network links where EMC protection is needed

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the first device (for example a switch, router or modem) and the other RJ-45 connector into the second device or into the patch panel or keystone jack. Ensure the latch engages securely to maintain a stable connection. The short length makes the cable suitable for direct device-to-device links or tidy patch panel connections without excess slack.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid routing the cable near strong sources of electromagnetic noise where possible and ensure connectors are fully seated. Use this shielded Cat5e cable for short interconnects; for longer runs consider Cat6 or higher standards to support higher bandwidth and future requirements.
